New champion stays focused despite online negativity
Summary
– Sol Ruca says criticism increased after her move to WWE’s main roster
– The Women’s Intercontinental Champion believes live crowd reactions matter more than social media comments
– Ruca recently answered critics by defeating Becky Lynch at Clash in Italy
Sol Ruca is not letting online criticism distract her from her success in WWE.
Fresh off her Women’s Intercontinental Championship victory over Becky Lynch at Clash in Italy, Ruca addressed the growing amount of negativity she has faced since joining WWE’s main roster.
Speaking with Sam Roberts, Ruca admitted that the spotlight is much bigger than it was during her time in NXT. With more attention comes more opinions, and not all of them are positive.
Ruca said criticism existed even in NXT, but the move to Raw and SmackDown-level exposure naturally increased the number of people watching her every move. At the same time, she pointed out that the added visibility also brings more support from fans.
The new champion explained that dealing with criticism was something she had to learn after signing with WWE. She said she did not initially think about how closely every performance, mistake, and decision would be examined online.
Despite that reality, Ruca remains focused on what matters most. She said social media comments represent only a small portion of WWE’s overall fanbase.
For Ruca, the reactions that count are the ones inside the arena and from the people she works with behind the scenes. If the crowd is engaged and WWE officials are happy with her performances, she feels comfortable with where she stands.
Her comments come after WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently defended her against criticism following a few mistakes on television. Booker argued that every wrestler experiences growing pains and that improvement comes through experience.
Ruca’s biggest response came inside the ring. After weeks of questions and criticism, she defeated Becky Lynch at Clash in Italy to capture the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Now holding championship gold, Ruca enters a new chapter of her career. While the criticism may continue, she appears determined to keep her attention on her performances rather than the noise surrounding them.
